Question

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (5, -3)and a directrix of x=1. What can be said about the parabola?

Answer 1

The parabola is a horizontal parabola and it faces to the right. The vertex is at (3, -3) (*Double check this because I don't have graph paper*) because the vertex is always the same distance from the directrix and the focus.
